介绍:
If you are in Dubai, you may notice a robot police officer sharing the street with you. Your first thought might be, “Have I walked into a movie set?” The answer is no. That robot is Dubai’s newest police officer.
The world’s first operational police robot hit the streets of Dubai on May 31, 2017. The robot works mostly at shopping centers and other places popular with visitors. It stands 165 centimeters tall and weighs 100 kilograms. Dubai says that if the robot works well, 25% of its police force willhave been robots by 2030.
The robot cannot make arrests, but it can recognize faces and compare them to photographs on a criminal database. It can also sense emotions.
People can use the robot’s touch screen to do things like reporting a crime, paying fines and reporting lost or found things. They can also ask how to get somewhere.
The robot can say hello to people and shake hands with them. So far, the robot can speak in Arabic and English. It soon will learn other languages such as Russian, Chinese, French and Spanish.
Dubai plans to add other kinds of robots to its police force. Within two years, the city plans to deploy a robot that can run up to 80 kilometers an hour.
